    I have an XP1000 that will power up (green power LED on, fan works)
    but no graphics come up on the monitor at all. There are no error
    beeps, and none of the internal error LEDs come on.
    So far I have re-seated the memory, motherboard, and graphics
    card. Also disconnected and reconnected the two internal hard
    drives. Monitor works fine when connected to my other XP900
    system. I have also checked that the Elsa Gloria Synergy graphics
    card is functional by successfully swopping it into the XP900.

    Any suggestions for how to diagnose what is wrong ?
    Thanks,

    Martin
